Kernrechtsfrage
Whether extradition to Serbia and Montenegro could be granted despite the appellant's claimed asylum request
Extrahierter Entscheid
The extradition proceedings did not need to be suspended pending asylum proceedings, but the federal office had to clarify the asylum issue and could not simply disregard the request.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court found that no asylum application was formally registered, yet the detainee had clearly expressed a wish for protection. Competent asylum authorities, not the court, must determine whether a valid asylum request exists and how it should be treated.
